8. CAUTIONS AGAINST BURNS & BATTERY EXPLOSION
A
To avoid burns, be alert for hot components, e.g. muffler, muffler cover,
radiator, pipings, engine body, coolants, engine oil, etc. during operation
and just after the engine has been shut off.
A
DO NOT remove the radiator cap while the engine is running or
immediately after stopping. Otherwise hot water will spout out from
radiator. Wait for more than ten minutes to cool the radiator, before
removing the cap.
A
Make sure to shut the drain valve of coolant and oil to close pressure
cap, to fasten pipe band before operating. If those parts are taken off, or
loosen, it will result in serious personal injury.
A
The battery presents an explosive hazard. When the battery is being
activated, hydrogen and oxygen gases are extremely explosive.
A
DO NOT use or charge the battery if its fluid level stands below the
LOWER mark.
Otherwise, the component parts may deteriorate earlier than expected,
which may shorten the service life or cause an explosion. Immediately,
add distilled water until the fluid level is between the UPPER and
LOWER levels.
A
Keep sparks and open flames away from the battery, especially when
charging the battery. DO NOT strike a match near the battery.
A
DO NOT check battery charge by placing a metal object across the
terminals. Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
A
DO NOT charge battery if frozen. It can be explosive. When frozen,
warm the battery up more than 16 C (61 F).
9. HANDS AND BODY AWAY FROM THE ROTATING PARTS
A
Be sure to stop the engine before checking or adjusting belt tension and
cooling fan.
A
Keep your hands and body away from the rotating parts, such as cooling
fan, V-belt, fan drive V-belt, pulley or flywheel causing personal injury.
A
DO NOT run the engine with installed safety guards detached. Install
safety guards securely during operation.
